Ben Gvir calls to fire Gallant after calls to halt judicial overhaul
Far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir calls on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to fire Defense Minister Gallant over his calls to halt the judicial overhaul.
“I call on the prime minister to fire Gallant, who came in with the votes of the right, but surrendered to the pressure of those who threatened to refuse [to serve in the military], and tries to put a stop to the important reform,” Ben Gvir says in a statement.
